Page 14
2 csk screws are inserted from bottom and locknut is on top side. See next picture for bottom view. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 14 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 15
Note that 2 CSK screws are inserted from bottom and nut is on top side. This is important otherwise the castor will touch the screw and restrict the movement of base rotation. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 15 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 16
Make sure that plate is not too loose or tight. Test with moving slider in software. *Note : Please read manual of servo controller first before performing this step. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 16 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 17

Page 18
Take out part with 2 servos and top mount for it. Also take 2 20mm studs and 4 M3 Small screws. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 18 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 19
Fix two 20 mm studs in holes with 2 M3 small screws as shown. Also fix 4 rubber mounts available in metal gear servo accessory pack to metal gear servo as shown above. Take out eight M3 Long screws and locknuts for next assembly step. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 19 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 20
Mount servos to the plate with 4 M3 Long screws and locknuts. Fix the top plate with bottom through 20 mm studs with 2 M3 Small screws. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 20 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 21
Now connect all the motors to servo controller and neutralize them. Keep the servo controller powered on while assembly so all servos will be locked to centre position. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 21 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 22
Fix plate with 2 servo horns to the 2 ready assemblies. Keep it perpendicular to each other. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 22 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 23
Keeping the servos powered lock both servos with screws provided in servo accessory pack. Now you can power off the servo controller for next few steps. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 23 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 24
Mount 2 50 mm studs with M3 small screws as shown in picture above. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 24 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 25

Take the back part of wrist joint, put wrist rotate servo mount between front and back part and fix the back part with a M3 small screw and a locknut as shown above. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 30 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 31
Neutralize the wrist rotate servo and fix the gripper on it such that its almost parallel to the wrist rotate servo plate. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 31 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 32
Lock the gripper to wrist rotate servo with a lock screw provided in accessory pack of mini servo. You will have to put screwdriver through gripper’s hole in centre between tow jaws. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 32 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 33
Neutralize a standard servo, put the gripper jaws to approximate mid position and fix servo to gripper horn and secure it with a locking screw available in accessory pack from top. Mechanical assembly is now complete. Next step is connection and cabling. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 33 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 34
Connect 3 servo extension cables to gripper jaw, gripper rotate and wrist servos as the cables will not be enough to reach servo controller. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 34 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
Page 35
You can mark the end connectors with servo name or number so that connection will be easy at the end. Follow the pictures to see steps in cabling. http://www.robokits.co.in http://www.robokitsworld.com Page 35 Robotic Arm 6 DOF Assembly Guide...
